That is four wins in a row for the Cardinals; four losses in a row for the Reds and they drop to 2 games below .500. The Reds are heading west to start a series in San Diego tomorrow while the Cardinals have the day off. Cards next series is on the road against the Mets.

Stank gets his second win on the year and is 2-0 while Reds reliever Moll takes the loss and is 1-5. Riley O'Brien picks up save #17.

Reds are now 2-13 against the Central Division. The Cardinals improve their record against the Central to 12-8 and improve their record in day games to 12-16.

Probably not gaining ground on Milwaukee today with them leading Colorado. Hope SF can cut down the Scrubs in the Sunday night game.

I'm not even worried about Milwaukee, personally. Of course I'd love to catch them, but right now I'm just having so much fun being a semi decent team and a fun watch.

Last year had the same- or better- record at this point but was nowhere near as compelling to me, so I'm kind of happy, honestly.

Twice now I've thought the bottom was out of this roster and it's clear holes. Walker, Wetherholt, McGreevy, Burleson, Herrera, and some of the development in minors gives me real interest in watching.

Kind of fun again.

They don’t win this series with the roster they had two weeks ago. Making simple upgrades and not defaulting to a hopeless status quo made a big difference. So did getting Nootbaar back.

Agreed. Just a fun team to watch and follow. Enjoying watching the kids play and many of them having success.

Really we've only had one game with Wetherholt and Nootbaar both in the lineup. That at least gets you to worrying about 6-9 instead of 5-9, and hopefully Church stays an upgrade over what Victor's been doing, and Crooks becomes a solid enough bat. Velasquez is the first player we've had off the bench with some pop.

Also hope Torres can stick around and they give him some chances at third.

Worth mentioning yet again that this team is fun and I've already watched more games this season than probably 2025 and 2024 combined. They're bringing me back to baseball. Just in time for the owners to break my heart again.

And they are currently holders of the top wild card spot
